Christmas is in the Air

Merry Christmas everyone! James & had fun yesterday putting up our Christmas tree and the rest of our apartment decorations. It did take a few hours to complete the popcorn string that we borrowed from James' family traditions. But we finished it together and it looks great on the tree. Another tradition that we began when we got married was the collection of Christmas ornaments. We have tried buying an ornament on different trips we take or for special occassions. We're still trying to find the perfect "expecting parents" ornament, so we don't have that one yet. :) But we did include some pictures of other ornaments we have collected this year.

Have a happy holiday season everyone! We love you all!

Chad and Kristen said...: I love it!! We are ornament people too! Chads mom has given him an ornament for every year of his life, and has carried that tradition on with me and our kids! Its fun puting them up on the tree each year! We have no passed on that tradition to our kids as well, so our tree is full of our special ornaments and almost no bulbs...its so much more special for us!! Very cute...I love the popcorn string idea...have always wanted to do it....maybe once the kids are a little older!!; December 3, 2007 at 12:05 AM

Our History

Aah, love! James & Keri West met in April of 2006. After a quick courtship and brief engagement, they were married in the Mount Timpanogos Temple on October 7th, 2006. They began their married lives together in Cedar City, Utah, while James finished his last 2 years at Southern Utah University. They thoroughly enjoyed their first 17 months of marriage until their lives were blessed with their first baby boy, David James West, on March 6th, 2008. What a joy! James graduated from SUU in May of 2008 and quickly accepted a position as Assistant General Manager of a brand new Holiday Inn Express in Kanab, Utah. After less than a year, James was promoted to General Manager. We welcomed our second son, Steven Watts West on May 22nd, 2009. We then welcomed our sweet Jared Duncan West, on July 12th, 2011. Life is a busy one with 3 little boys, but we wouldn't have it any other way! We learned unexpectedly that we will now be expecting our fourth (and last) baby in June of 2013. We are eager to meet the completion of our family!

David James West is our oldest son and such a little charmer! He will be turning 5 on March 6th. He is such a good helper around the house, but definitely has his independent moments. He enjoys going to preschool and his class at church to play with the other kids and learn. He loves his little brothers and enjoys wrestling with them & Daddy. He knows his colors, numbers, shapes and letters very well. He writes his name really well and his learning how to read. He is a determined little boy and loves to ask LOTS of questions. Even with his fiesty moments, we love him and enjoy every moment with him.

Steven is our bowl full of energy and love! He will be 4 years old this May! He loves his brothers and loves music! He especially loves getting up and dancing when he hears music on the TV. He speaks so well, sometimes too well. :) He's getting used to going to his Sunbeam class on Sundays. He has really enjoyed going to preschool this year with his big brother. He has learned lots of letters this year and can even write his name now. So proud! He's a serious snuggler and loves to give us cheesy smiles.
